I'm just loving this image from From the Heart Stamps! This image IS NOT available in the regular store, but is an exclusive image (one of four) being used as a fundraiser for the owner's daughter and her ice hockey team! Such a great idea! Head on over to the blog and show your support! This 'Spectacular Birdbrain' comes with 6 sentiments too!

This image is perfect for my Husband's birthday coming up on Labor Day Weekend - good job he doesn't look at my blog!! The older he is getting the more he is needing to wear his glasses - something that he is absolutely devastated about! Thought I would hit the point home with this card - haha! I added the 'You're Spectacular' sentiment just to butter him up a little - along with the 'Just the way you are' sentiment inside the card.

I'm back in blog land! Now we have moved house, finally repaired the flood in the basement and the kids are back at school - I finally have time to craft! It has felt so good today - with the weather wet and miserable outside.

Here is the Stamp of the Month from From the Heart Stamps - Candy Cane for Snowman. Faith has a number of super cute snowmen in her shop at the moment with lots more to come - she has challenged herself to design 100 snowmen hopefully by Christmas! I always choose a theme for my cards each year - reindeer were the hot topic last year - I think it may be snowmen this year, so wait for all the snowmen cards and crafts to start appearing on my blog!! :)

I decided to make a gift bag with this image for a change! The stamps work so well on cards, but I love to change them up and do something a little different once in a while! I will also make a matching Christmas Card with this image at a later date.

I'm a little late to game, but I based the design loosely around sketch #114 on the blog:

I love that I can use the sketches for different purposes.

I used my Prismacolor pencils for the images;

papers and sticker embellishments from Echo Park; ribbon, snowflakes,

bling and glitter from my stash.

From The Heart Stamps is also having a DT Call!!

I thought I would give it a go - you never know right?? Fingers crossed!

About Me

I've moved to Utah, USA from England in June 2010 and I LOVE IT!!
I discovered papercrafting and became obsessed with scrapbooking for a while.
I am now obsessed with card making. I just loving coloring digital images with my prismacolor pencils and using all these different sketches for inspiration :)
